Fully Dynamic, PersonalisedPaywall Engine

Sophi Dynamic Paywall Engine is a fully dynamic, real-time system that optimizes your current paywall. It analyzes both content + user-propensity to decide when to show a paywall to visitors in order to maximize conversions, ad revenue and engagement. Added to your generic metered wall, this paywall engine knows when to give up rather than alienate readers and lower engagement.

Content-PropensityPaywall Engine

Sophi Content Paywall Engine uses complex natural language processing to analyze every piece of content and select what to put behind your paywall - or leave in front of the wall to gain ad revenue. It can be used as either a recommendation tool for publishers, or to automatically paywall stories as they’re published, with easy editorial overrides.

‘’We wanted to see how much farther Sophi could take us, so we tested Sophi Content Paywall on one of our largest sites. The results were transformative. We were hoping for a 10% lift in conversion rate and Sophi delivered four times that result. We’re continuing to roll out Sophi solutions across more of our sites as we speak.‘’

-Neil Katz, Chief Customer Officer, Advance Local
